The Giacoklima bus system equipped with the KM203 network controller allows for remote control and supervision, via Serial communication, of the whole heating/cooling framework.

Communication

Connect HSYCO to the KM203 controller employing an RS485 gateway.

RS-232 parameters:

Baud rate 19200
Data bits 8
Stop bit 1
Parity none
Flow control none

The Giacoklima bus architecture

This image illustrates an example of the system architecture:

The RS-485 port is on the top left corner of the KM203 interface as shown in the picture above.

HSYCO Configuration

Add a GKBUS I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:

Communication

  • Comm ID: select the comm port connected to the device.

High Availability

  • Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.

Options

ID Default Values Description
gui true true enable support for the UI object, UISET actions and USER commands
false disable UI support
startupevents false true generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase
false start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system
pollinterval 1 n > 0 the data acquisition interval, in seconds

gkbus.ini

The gkbus.ini file is a specific configuration file located in the main directory (same directory as hsyco.ini or hsyco.jar).

Here you must add a line for each thermostat belonging to the framework and optionally specify a descriptive name of the corresponding area.

Use the format “<ioserver_id>.k<n>.<addr> = name”, where <ioserver_id> is the id of the referred I/O server, <n> is the number of the KPM20 module the thermostat is connected to and <addr> is the secondary address of the thermostat.

For instance:

gk.k0.0 = Kitchen
gk.k0.1 = Bedroom
gk.k1.0 = Entrance

User Interface

You can use a tempmini object to create a thermostat-equivalent interface.

Set the Server ID field to the I/O Server’s name and specify the address of the thermostat (K483 module) in the Address field using the format “k<n>.<addr>” where <n> is the number of the KPM20 module the thermostat is connected to and <addr> is its address (e.g. k0.1 represents the second thermostat connected to the first KPM20):
